I love using online tools and apps which allow students to customise and develop their creativity. There are many avatar makers and creature creators available. I have updated this presentation to include a few new ones I have found. I have also included a few ideas on how to use them in the classroom.

I couldn't agree more. Creating avatars and OC (original characters) is a wonderful activity for kids, especially teens eager to explore their identities. On DoInk http://www.doink.com we see this all the time. Our users create back stories for their characters & publish episodic cartoons starring them. These character take on a real persona & enable our users to express themselves openly. Even cooler, is when our users integrate other community member's OCs into their stories. Collaboration is huge & encouraged.

About this Blog

I love finding digital resources and exploring ways to integrate technology into the classroom. I am particularly interested in online applications. This blog has been designed to share resources I have found and collected as both an educator and a parent. My background is in Secondary Art and Multimedia, however, I love finding ways to incorporate many subject areas.
